The Toy Stories - a project for SHOP-Stoke

Come and visit us at SHOP Monday 11th October - Wednesday 13th October and don't come alone ... bring your favourite toy with you!
The Toy Stories is a project for anyone of any age - just come along with a favourite toy and share a story about why that toy is so important. If you've not got the toy any longer you can still come and tell us about those special toys, the ones you could never say "goodbye" to and maybe those that broke your heart when they disappeared! Why was that toy such a great part of your childhood ? What happened to the toy? Maybe you have an amusing anecdote to share.  For full project details please  view the information on SHOP website.
